Things are just getting started at the construction site of the future Cheval Bethesda ultra-luxury condos. The site has been cleared of demolition debris from the structures recently taken down there. You can see that quite a bit of grading work has been done.

Duball, LLC is the developer of the building, which is expected to deliver in 2017. The 17-story tower will house 72 condo units, and 7000 SF of non-residential space. Prices will be ultra-luxury tier indeed: From the $900,000s to over $2.5 million.

So many high-end condos being built -- yet so few with the money and/or the desire to live in Bethesda! The few good restaurants and stores don't warrant spending $900K ++ in this otherwise sleepy, little town.
